I mean most people I hear from are what I call arm chair environmentalist, “Gas prices high I want electric car. Gas prices now low, ah I don’t care anymore.”

In my parents home there was a solar cooker long time ago which cooked delicious meals which were nutritiuos too...I can't find those cookers now. Have they become obsolete or is some more development taking place in that area. I would love to know if someone uses this cookrer wchich is very energy efficient and eco friendly.

I recently heard that Coke has come up with this technology where apparels are designed from recycled bottles...Will you wear them?

We are currently experimenting with these in several towns around the UK.

From Defra - "Anaerobic digestion breaks down organic matter to produce biogas which can be used as a renewable energy source for heat and power, and as a transport fuel. It produces a nutrient-rich digestate which can be used as fertiliser, and importantly it keeps organic waste out of landfill, which cuts greenhouse gas emissions. "

THis is working so well at the moment.. household food waste is collected by special carts which takeit to the plant where the process takes place. The pilot scheme is producing enough power to run 300 homes. If this continues with no major problems it is intended to build these plants all over the country. Do you think it could catch on in your neighbourhood?

which one of these can you not do without?

TV? Mobile phone? Computer? iPod? DVD Player? We all become ever more dependant on our electronic toys, how would we cope without them?

We obviously need more manufacturing within our borders and we need to provide jobs that don't require 4 years of college.

Will the new push for renewable, independent energy create these needed jobs while restoring manufacturing within our borders?

As far as I know CFLs are the world's most eco friendly, energy saving lighting sources and far better than the conventional bulbs. But is there something even better than these CFLs as I have heard that once these are disposed they are as bad for the environment.
